Clearly John Boehner Wrote This Press Release Before The Jobs Report Came Out

“Today’s unemployment report is more proof that all of the
Washington spending, taxing, and regulating is devastating our
economy. While the American people are asking ‘where are the
jobs?’ the Democrats running Washington are determined to punish
small businesses with higher taxes and more red tape – including
hundreds of new regulations last month alone – and to keep their
spending binge going at all costs. Instead of more jobs, they’re
creating more fear, more uncertainty, and more debt.

“To get our economy back to creating jobs, Republicans are
working to expand American energy production to help lower gas
prices, repeal the job-crushing health care law with all of its
mandates and tax hikes, adopt a Balanced Budget Amendment to stop
Washington from spending money it doesn’t have, and more. While
the Senate and White House have resisted these efforts so far, I
hope Democrats will take this opportunity to ‘pivot’ away from
their failed ‘stimulus’ policies, and work with us to implement
our Plan for America’s Job Creators and remove the government
barriers that are hurting job growth.”

"Today's dismal jobs report is a far cry from the hope and change
that President Obama promised on the campaign trail. Since
the President took office, unemployment has risen 17%, the
federal debt has increased 37% and gas prices have doubled.
In the last week, the stock market suffered its worst day
in years, economic growth was revised down and consumer
confidence dropped. Despite these clear and abundant signs
that our economy is floundering, President Obama has still failed
to deliver a concrete plan to create jobs and promote growth.
This lack of leadership is inexcusable and driving our
economy toward decline. It's time for a new president to
point us back in the right direction, and I am the only candidate
who has proposed a specific economic plan that will create jobs
and grow our economy."

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor:

“Unemployment is far too high, manufacturers are struggling, and
consumer spending is down. While a slight improvement from last
month, today’s jobs report shows that our economy is ailing and
we must push pro-growth polices to get back on track so that
businesses can begin to hire and people can get back to work. The
recent debt limit agreement was an important step forward for our
country and accomplished needed reforms without raising taxes on
working families and small businesses. However, upon signing this
bipartisan package, President Obama renewed his call for tax
increases – while at the same time saying he would focus on
creating jobs. The President can’t have it both ways. Raising
taxes on the very small businesses we are counting on to create
jobs is exactly the wrong prescription for economic growth – and
a call for tax hikes shows the President remains out of touch on
these tough economic issues.

“In contrast, House Republicans have put forth a robust jobs
plan that will spur economic growth and provide an
environment where businesses have the confidence to grow and hire
again. With millions of Americans out of work, I hope the
President and his party will join us on real growth measures that
will empower private sector job creators, instead of playing
political games and leaving millions of America jobs hanging in
the balance.”

"Despite today's jobs report showing a slight improvement, with
9.1 percent unemployment, it is still evidence that the
President's failed economic policies are digging us deeper into a
hole. The President created twice as many donors for his campaign
as he created jobs in the second quarter. This week the President
was handed a $2.4 trillion blank check and in return the American
people got a mere $21 billion in promised spending cuts, the
erosion of their personal savings
in the worst stock market drop since 2008, and the promise of
higher taxes before the ink had dried on the budget deal. It's
time for the President to admit what the markets, the world, and
the American people already know - his trillion dollar stimulus
was a failure, the government can't create jobs, and massive
spending kills them.

"This week the President announced that he would again pivot to
focus his attention on jobs. We can only hope he will pivot away
from his failed economic policies that have killed growth and put
millions of Americans out of work. What the markets want and what
the country needs is a fundamental restructuring in the way
Washington spends taxpayers dollars that reins in unprecedented
spending, gets our debt under control, and encourages pro-growth
economic policies. The President can attempt to blame and spin
away this week's bad economic news, but you can't fool the
markets. Mr. President - the only way to dig us out of this hole
your administration has gotten us into is to stop digging."

GOP Presidential Candidate Jon Huntsman:

"The President has had 2.5 years to turn around the American
economy and it is clear he has failed. In less than one day,
Americans have witnessed a considerable drop in the stock market
and yet another jobs report showing an unemployment rate above
9%. When President Obama should have been focused on creating
jobs, he focused on a government-mandated health care system that
the American people didn't ask for and can't afford. What we
can't afford now is to waste any more time. We need to implement
the type of pro-growth policies and free-market reforms that made
Utah the top state for job creation when I was Governor. America
needs a President who knows how to create an economic environment
that allows entrepreneurs to thrive and create jobs. This country
will never realize its true economic potential until we enact tax
cuts, implement regulatory reform and move toward energy
independence."
